    Now that hunting is mostly over I'm thinking about starting a new tv series on Netflix to get into this winter.

    Thinking about either SOA or BB. Help me decide.

    SOA got old for me with the quickness.

    nah, I just could not get into it that much. A bit too much testosterone for me, I guess.

    Breaking bad is a much slower show but has an amazing story line.

    SOA is an action packed "badass" type of show which developed an amazing story line later into its seasons as well.

    I'd recommend both along w walking dead.

    Breaking Bad is the best written show of all time. Great story line is great and the acting is top notch. Sons is bad *** biker stuff I just couldn't get into it.

    Never seen Breaking Bad, but I'd definitely recommend giving Sons an honest go at it.

    You have to really commit yourself to it though to make it through all 5 seasons (season 5 wraps up next Tuesday). The mythology and back story to Sons is critical to keeping interest and having a true understanding of what's going on. SOA isn't a show you can just casually watch, IMO.

    Breaking Bad is honestly the best show I've ever seen, can't wait for the new season to be on netflix.

    Havent started Breaking Bad yet, but plan to soon. SOA I love though. Very poor acting by many on the show, but the story line is good and I do enjoy it a lot. Keeps me guessing most of the time as well.

    Sons would get my vote.

    Have you ever watched The Wire?

    No never heard of it. I'm don't watch much tv. So I don't hear about a lot if shows. I have time for maybe one show a year where I can get into and actually watch.

    The Wire is widely revered as one of the number one police type series out there. It was a hbo series so if you're looking for a show you can watch with the whole family this ain't it. But neither is SOA.

    I've watched all seasons start to finish twice, it's solid.

    Both shows are very good and are very different so it depends on what you like.

    I would give a slight nod to Breaking Bad myself.
